He is a ruler, an overlord, a top dog, a crowned head.
In the realm of all that is tart and sour, Jelly King reigns supreme.
Rather than choosing between sour or hoppy, we decided to create a beer that would be both at the same time. Showcasing the aromatic benefits of a generous dry hop, harnessing the prowess of lactic acidity, and coming to a can near you without a pesky slumber in oak, Jelly King is the fermented embodiment of immediate gratification.
What it smells like, what it tastes like, what it looks like: Jelly King combines bright and juicy hop aromatics with a refreshingly tart base, and is bursting with notes of fuzzy peach, tangerine, and grapefruit.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Huge dry-hopped forward nose with citrus, pineapple and mango notes. Very fruit-forward nose with funky fruit undertones. Dry and fruit-forward on the palate. No sweetness, just a lovely dried tropical fruit character throughout with the hops really shining as well. Smooth, low abv, highly complex fruit and tart beer. When done to this level, I can drink this style all day. One to Bellwoods!
